Recommend me sleek cap toe shoes under $300

[bjornb17]

I'm looking for recommendations, size 11.5. I'm tired of Allen Edmonds clunky designs and poor quality leather. Thanks.

Watch the B&S forums for a good deal. Otherwise up your budget to $400 and grab some C&J.

Take advantage of the current strengthening USD and grab some benchgrade C&J (hallam)

although I am many here will disagree about Allen Edmonds having clunky designs and bad leather... try Ferragamo

If you really want a staple shoe in a sleek last from one of the top makers than you should strongly reconsider your budget.

This.

I bought a pair of black Ferragamo captoes on sale for $250. It's possible. Wait for the after Christmas sales. You might find something.

Studio doesn't count.

Where can I buy C&J shoes, any recommendations?

Try cheaney, grenson, sargent or herring shoes at that price range. Actually there is a photo somewhere here where AE was placed beside an EG, albeit a 202 and it didn't look to bad. i think the clunkiness of AE is blown out of proportion by haters. Edit found links to pics.

Or, alternatively, shoot an e-mail off to Richard at www.shoehealer.co.uk and he can hook you up with C&Js. They're not on his website, but he knows his stuff.

I think it's more the smaller the foot, the clunkier it looks. some display models of larger sizes i thought looked good but when i tried them on my little feet, they became clunky.

What does fitting E mean? Do they seriously believe that everyone has size E feet?

No they seriously believe people would be smart enough to know that english widths are different from american widths.
